One of them, Ajahn Dick Silaratano, has founded a monastery in West Virginia.

Looks promising indeed. Hope they're doing fine over there. Not much to read what's going on. They seem to like it quiet and undisturbed. :smile:

The German bhikkhu, Ajahn Martin, is not at Wat Pa Baan Taad anymore, I think. At least I heard he wanted to go to a more quiet place, now that his teacher is dead and Wat Pa Baan Taad is so famous. I have some name of a monastery in mind, which I don't know I remember correctly, nor where it is, nor if he actually went there. But since his idea was to have it rather quiet I won't put the name here. You can PM me, if you want to know this.
